She stabbed him twice, actually, while she was being held from behind. They then broke, and he then grabbed her again from the front. At that point she should have done something, but she essentially slumped down and let herself be throttled until Eastwood popped in to the rescue. She started out fighting appropriately, but when push came to shove, she played damsel in distress and just sat there. (The second half of the fight was a break in character???) chuq -- Chuq Von Rospach nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA {decwrl,hplabs,ihnp4}!nsc!chuqui An uninformed opinion is no opinion at all.
